Reauthorization
Issues for Discussion
How to improve links between WIA Title I, welfare reform and other
programs--including adult education--is a key reauthorization priority for
the Department of Labor. DOL sees reauthorization of the Temporary
Assistance for Needy Families Act this year and WIA next year as an
opportunity to achieve a more effective fit among the programs. Other
reauthorization issues posted include engaging business more effectively in
Title I programs and boards, increasing state flexibility, and improving
one-stops and training programs for youth and adults. See the discussion
guide http://www.usworkforce.org/reauthorization/guide.asp
LVA/Laubach
To Be ProLiteracy
America
When Literacy Volunteers of America and Laubach Literacy International
finalize their merger this year they'll have a new name: ProLiteracy
America. The partners say it's unlikely that respective local programs will
be required to merge, but some existing membership requirements may change.
The intent of the new organization is to be inclusive and to offer
membership to all organizations presently in either LVA or Laubach. A new
accreditation process, developed by a joint task force of the two
organizations, is expected to be in place by January 1, 2003, partners say.

Become a Certified
Workplace Expert
If you're an adult educator moving into the field of workplace learning--or
you've been there a while--James Madison University can build your
credentials online. The university's new Workforce Development Campus is an
Internet-based training "campus" providing certification for this type of
activity. Virtual course selections include: Marketing Workforce Education
Programs; Planning and Designing Workforce Programs; Organizational
Assessment in Workforce Education; Curriculum Development; Instruction; and
Program Evaluation for workplace education. See http://wdc.jmu.edu/
Salt Lake Computers
Free from Gateway
Wondering what happens to all that equipment that supported the Winter
Olympics? Gateway is donating up to 4,500 computers from the Salt Lake games
to nonprofit agencies. Priority goes to schools and community centers whose
programs help enhance access to technology for traditionally underserved
communities. Complete an application online between April 2 and July 31,
2002. For the application plus additional details see
